    Thank you so much for this. Watching for the second time. I didn't get to do the Le Puy this year like I'd wanted to, but seeing this allows me to experience it. I'm just so grateful. This is beyond beautiful, this footage. What a gift to us pilgrims this vlog will be.

      En fait, lors de la rénovation de la cathédrale du Puy il y a une vingtaine d’année, il a été décidé de revenir à la configuration d’origine à savoir l’entrée par le centre de l’édifice. Cette entrée avait été comblée il y a tres longtemps car cela faisait trop rentrer de froid en hivers. C’était pourtant tout à fait logique car la cathédrale est à moitié dans le vide (d’où les gros pilier sous la façade). On disait d’ailleurs à l’époque que l’on rentrait dans la cathédrale par le nombril et l’on ressortait par les oreilles 😂 j’ai l’impression que les pèlerins font l’inverse maintenant.

    Your videos are benchmark for travel videos. A sensitivity to and for cultures, showing what’s around the next bend, giving vision to what many would miss,only seeing it passing by once and moving on. The cinematography adds to an evanescent sense of wonder that some other world travelers are missing by compression, here..we’re allowed to breath a little, take time to not only smell the roses but to walk the garden. Teaching about the Way and taking away some mysteries…in a good way…but leaving enough so that a sense of innocence and wonder and adventure is still alive and attractive enough to draw someone in. Eating drinking sharing the road as if we’re along is the best part. Here’s to the journey🙏

    I find these videos very different than your earlier videos. I miss the hurdles. The feelings you emitted from the wonder , struggles, surprises & the authenticity of Francigena and Caminos. Travel vloggers often learn so much along the way that the risks they take and hurdles they overcome disappear. It is those feelings that make vloggers distinctive.

    Hola Efren, my husband and I walked the GR65 in May/June 2019. I speak French fluently (born in Quebec). We love to watch your videos. So cool to see the areas with your drone. One thing I get a bit annoyed is the way you pronounce gite...LOL I guess you should have used your google translator to be sure you say it properly in French. Anybody mentioned something about it? I hope you do not get offended by my remark. You will say gite many times during all your videos on the Via Podiensis. So far we have watched until Nasbinals . We watch 1 or 2 videos each night. I have written the story of our Camino ( ON FOOT IN FRANCE- available on Amazon). I like to share my photos as well on FB and in 2023 I will share some videos here on my CZcams channel. Nothing to compare with your images. I just needed to do it for a personal reason.. just for the same reason I needed to write a book about our journey. Anyway, I want to say that your channel is GREAT and it is wonderful that you can do so much travel. Not only on the Camino routes but other places. Happy New Year to you and your family.

    Watched the entire Via Francegina series earlier this week. Took me three days. That camino was an epic achievement, doing the whole route starting from Canterbury and taking the grinding plains of the northwestern France under the scorching Sun. Compared to the Via Francegina vlogs, I like the changes you've made how you use audio and what is the ratio of talking/not talking.

    Hi Efren, thanks for the accommodation break down. I'm going to follow the same route, but I will only go as far as Cahors on the camino. You mentioned booking the gite ahead of time (because of COVID). Will that be necessary in 2023? How much ahead did you book or did you do it a few days in advance? Is it easy to book? You mention the name of the gite but is there a website or did you call ahead? How did you manage that? I would prefer not to book and to go with the flow and trust the camino, but if accommodations are scarce I'll book ahead. I'll watch your other videos for the rest of your journey. Thanks again.
